It's an okay place to work if you just keep your head down and do your job. Top wage isn't great, management doesn't care about the workers and HR is all but useless. Job promotions are based on who you know, not what you know. Lots of useless people in management positions.

Pros

Cookie day 1/month, good coworkers on the floor.

Cons

Everything else

Horrible place to work

Orientation Trainer (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 3 June 2022

Terrible place to work for. They promote Vuteq cares about their employees. Absolutely false. Use you until you get hurt then let you go. Turn over rate is tremendous. Work expectations are extremely unreasonable. Pay is good as well as benefits but not worth what you have to go through!

Made some good friends that's about it

full time Production Worker - Absent Relief (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 25 March 2022

That place drains you mentally, breaks you down physically and to management you are just another number in a wide revolving door. Pay is decent at top wage nothing you can live on in today's society. Benefits are good however. Think of high school drama and talking behind people's backs it's a plague there. Glad I'm out

Pros

Sometimes you get a bonus... or a cookie day

Cons

Repetitive, management is the big fault at this place.

They don’t treat you get there

General Labourer (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 20 February 2022

They absolutely don’t treat you get there they treat you just like a number and nothing else They laid off their full-time people and they started hiring people off the street instead of taking the full times back

Pros

Decent if you can get along

Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 6 February 2022

Afternoon shift management on IP Line was great, laid back and reasonable guy. You can go under the radar if you just simply show up and do your work. IP line has some heroes ahaha but glass department was in my opinion a bit better.

Pros

Lunches, always 40hrs a week and opportunity to get a straight shift if you find someone to swap with.

Cons

Heroes on Dayshift, bit far if you don’t live in woodstock, short breaks, mandatory overtime

Ok if you need a job right away

Assembler (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 25 January 2022

Right now vuteq is a disorganized mess... leadership is stretched thin trying to cover multiple departments.. they have had quite a few people in leadership positions leave the company in the last year.. pay is decent.. benefits are decent... no one really likes working there

Pros

Close to home

Cons

Too many to list

I would come into work, attend morning meeting, start working, have lunch break, work again then go home

Assembler (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 13 January 2022

I would not recommend working here because the pay is not good and the work gets repetitive and boring. I have to wait and call someone to cover if i need to go to the restroom or get a drink. During the summer we were not allowed to get cold water unless it reached 35 degrees inside the plant

Pros

None

Cons

No overtime, really repetitive work, cannot take breaks

It’s not difficult to work there

Gm (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 22 October 2021

It’s a good place to work, especially if you’re a loner but DON’T TRUST no one there!! The leadership is bias they like to pick on new comers and tell lie’s on you.. you’ll be like a floor claat to them that they think they can walk all over on.. they only do favourites there and if you’re not one of them they will crush you and do everything to get you fired.. even if you’re the one who’s in the right you will be getting wrong because no matter what they’re the ones who’s gonna always win as a new comer your words don’t mean s**t to them and even above them..

Engineer (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 12 July 2021

Depends on individuals goals and objectives in life. Engineering team is great to work for with young team and great Manager. Work is seasonal. There are times where overtime is necessary based on jobs and sometimes there’s opportunity to volunteer and learn new skill.

Pros

Good Benefits and Work Culture

Cons

Flexibility

Production Team Member (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 28 June 2021

Horrible place to work people pick on you. The supervisors are bias HR people don’t care about the workers or how they are treated. You go and say something to HR and they fire you!!Will never recommend this place for someone to work here.

Do not apply

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 17 June 2021

If you want to be fired over something so petty like asking to be trained properly or have clarification from management they will fire you. They favor people who've been there the longest and new people mean nothing. If you ask to have someone else train you because the person who is training you is confusing you they fire you. They talk down to you as if you were dumb. Trust nobody!!

Pros

None

Cons

Cover your own a**. Management does not have your back.

Fork Lift Operator (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 17 May 2021

Those that can't do the job are Managing you and telling you how to do your job. Frustrating to say the least. So many middle and low level management/HR people but so few to actually do the work that's required.

I have mixed feeling about this place

order picker (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 16 April 2021

I feel like Management don't care about you in person, you don't get noticed because you work hard on time and you don't make mistakes....this place is more like who is your friend !!! hook uppp sss big time. remember one thing in this place. everything you do can be credited to someone either then you. so you work hard and another employee gets the credit for it. floor management are not educated at all...fav...is big. you can get in trouble for things that other employees do every day. corrupt...

Pros

sometime they buy lunches

Cons

not realy

great family environment, sub par wages

Mechanical Engineer (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 25 February 2021

Working here is fast paced, technical and challenging. There is a great team atmosphere and everyone is willing to help out. Company has lots of activities and events for employees. Only downside is the wages are nowhere near the level they should be. Turnover is high as a result.

Pros

family environment, lots of events

Cons

low wages

Do not work here if you are an engineer

Process Engineer (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 13 January 2021

IIf you have a University engineering degree, please do not work here. Management is uneducated, culture is toxic and prioritizes assigning blame to others and self preservation rather than the success of the group as a whole. There is no P.eng in the building to validate your EIT hours. Engineering group is lead by people without engineering degrees who will talk down to you because of their seniority, while simultaneously being unable to perform any complex analysis at anything above an extremely remedial level. Goodluck taking advantage of your education here because they have no actual need for engineering degrees. Jobs are better suited to college grads so why are they hiring overqualified people, to lowball them and waste their time? Also enjoy working with the people in maintenance, extremely arrogant and yet incompetent.

Pros

You will learn what to avoid in an employer

Cons

Poor compensation, uneducated management, toxic culture

Horrible place to work.

General Labourer (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 24 October 2020

I worked there for 2 and a half months. During my time HR lied to me over the phone, and fired me with no explanation whatsoever, they just pulled the "you weren't meeting qualifications" card. I had an argument with a supervisor about my music because she intentionally insulted and harassed me verbally for no absolute reason. Next day I was canned with no questions asked. Overall, your forced to work overtime, management is unorganized, and more importantly they treat you like garbage and then fire you for it.

Pros

Pay was Decent.

Cons

Horrible Management

If money is your key to happiness, maybe this is for you.

Line Worker (Former Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 7 October 2020

Bonuses and wages. All around Vuteq at the time of my employment was decent for financial compensation. With that being said, it is assembly line type of work. It is mind-numbingly boring, time goals are aggressive, and the jobs will tell you how many steps to take and in what direction. During each specified time goals. Different departments, different time goals bit same mindset. Expect reprimands for not following specifications to the point, exactly, every single time. Depending on the department, you will be expected to perform an exact list of instructions repeated every minute or so.
